What to expect

Sabah is one of Malaysia's many sought-after hiking destinations for its dominant mountainous terrains, scenic landscapes, and a bit of mystery that thrills outdoor explorers and adrenaline seekers alike. Among these natural wonders is the beautiful St. Veronica's Hill, which towers over the sylvan Tamparuli town and scattered villages at 278 meters above sea level. Known as Bukit Perahu, meaning “Hill Boat” in Malay as it resembles an inverted boat-shaped rock that sits near the summit's clearing. Your adventure begins upon your arrival at the small town of Tamparuli as you go on your leisure trek towards the peak. Expect a majority of trails leading through grizzled trees and bushes, as well as sporadic shrubs that will let you witness a gorgeous bird's eye view of the forest-rich backdrop of Mount Kinabalu. Once you've conquered the top, celebrate your victory capturing new sights of Borneo's entirety – enjoy panoramic vistas of the northern countryside confined in the shining rays of the beautiful sunrise. Dedicate your early morning rituals to an insightful retreat on the hill with nature within your reach. End the journey with a hearty breakfast back to the misty lowlands in Tamparuli town, where you will also get to interact with the village folks.

Very good experience. The guide hiked with us all the way to the top and even helped us to take photos. The drive was quick and breakfast after was not bad too.

Review for: Sunrise Leisure Hike + Round Trip City Hotel Transfer

this is a short, yet steep uphill climb. there are steps leading all the way up to the top, and the view made it worth it.

Review for: Sunrise Leisure Hike + Round Trip City Hotel Transfer

Guide is experienced. The climb was challenging as the "concreted staircase" is not our usual standard staircase height. You really need to bring along headlamp or Torchlight to do the climb as the surrounding is pitch black and the climb start around 5am. Despite the challenge, it was still a good experience as we are rewarded with a good view once we reach the top.

Nice guide who explained a lot about the region, he had flashlights and water for us. The hike isn't to be underestimated but worth the effort. The Chinese breakfast was surprising for an European (more like a dinner) but delicious.

Review for: Sunrise Leisure Hike + Round Trip City Hotel Transfer

The tour guide arrived at the hotel on time to receive us, and his attitude was friendly and courteous. When we arrived at the destination, the tour guide stayed behind the whole process of going up and down the mountain, putting our safety first. It’s a pity that there was too much rain and I couldn’t see the sunrise clearly🌅

Review for: Sunrise Leisure Hike + Round Trip City Hotel Transfer

This was great experience. Thanks a lot to our tour guide that was very friendly and accommodating. You may got little scared because you started hiking at 4am 😬 but when you reach the peak, the view is awesome. You'll love the sunrise 🌅 and the sea of clouds 🌥 surrounded the peak of the mountain 🗻 🏕️ its tiring but worth it. 😍 My sister and I really enjoyed it. 😍😍😍 I recommend this tour. 😉👌👍👍👍
